PQ Series

Ideal for applications requiring precise positioning, Firgelli's PQ series of micro linear actuators offer closed-loop control of the actuator's stroke position along it's full length of travel. We can also customize our standard PQ-12 to meet the requirements of your specific application.

PQ12   Compact form factor, position feedback or limit switches. Three different speed force combinations are available, and two voltages.

Pricing: $65 (USD) per unit. $55 each for 10 or more.

L Series

Firgelli's new L series of micro linear actuators combine the best features of our existing micro actuator families into a highly flexible, configurable and compact platform.

L12  

The first member of the L series, the L12, is an axial design like the LS-series, but utilizes a more powerful drive and a rectangular cross section for increased strength. But by far the most attractive feature of this actuator is the broad spectrum of configurations in which it will be available:

  • 4 Stroke lengths of 10mm, 30mm, 50mm or 100mm
  • 3 Force/Speed combinations with 50:1, 100:1 or 210:1 gear ratio.
  • Interface options include RC Servo, Industrial servo (4-20mA or 0-5V control)), raw potentiometer position feedback, end of stroke limit switches.
  • 6V or 12V operation

Pricing: $70 (USD) per unit for basic model. $80 per unit for switches or feedback. $90 per unit for integrated controller. $10 per unit discount when you buy 10.

L12-NXT  

Lego Mindstorm®, Power Functions®, and Technic® compatible Linear Actuators. These linear actuators are self contained units which include an electric motor. For use with your NXT Brick you will need a standard NXT® connection cable to connect it in place of one of the Mindstorm® Servos, and you will need to download the Firgelli L12-NXT Mindstorms® Block here. For manual use with Lego® Power Functions you will require the Cable-NXT-PF available on this site. For manual use with older Technic® style battery packs you will require the Cable-NXT-Technic available on this site. Please note: The Lego Group does not endorse these products. Lego®, NXT®, Mindstorms®, Technic® and Power Functions® are trademarks of The Lego Group..

Pricing: $50 (USD) per unit for 50mm stroke.
Available Soon
